Staff Proposes Loosening Traffic Calming Criteria to Cover More Pinole Streets
Public Works Director El Guindi proposed relaxing vehicle-count and speed thresholds in Pinole's 2008 traffic calming policy, expanding eligibility to collectors and streets near schools.
Why it matters: The updated policy would pave the way for the Active Transportation Plan and allow traffic calming on more residential corridors, including near senior housing and schools where recent state law now permits 20 mph speed limits.

Measure DCity Council14d agoApril 7, 2026
Residents Blast Measure D as a 'Power Grab' and Waste of $55K
Four public speakers urged Pinole voters to reject Measure D, the June ballot measure that would switch the city from a rotating mayor to a directly elected mayor.
Why it matters: Measure D would fundamentally change Pinole's century-old governance structure; opponents say no voters asked for it and the $55,000+ election cost diverts funds from roads, parks and public safety.

8% Annual ConFire Cost Growth Could Consume All Property Tax Revenue in a Decade
The fire services contract with ConFire is growing at 8% annually and will double in ten years, threatening to consume most city tax revenue.
Why it matters: At current growth rates, the fire contract alone would absorb all property tax revenue plus nearly all of Measure S and Measure I funds within ten years, leaving no room for other services.
